See this potato? I bought it Sunday at the local Safeway. It was advertised as "large Russet Potatoes". Hours ago, I sliced it; it has not browned at all.
It is Simplot's GMO -- the Innate -- I believe, which reduces the amount of acrylamide that is produced when it is deep-fried.
There was a moment of shock when I realized that I had just eaten this GMO. But this GMO is probably a good thing, by reducing the amount of acrylamide -- which isn't exactly novel, as other potatoes around the world don't produce acrylamide like the Russet.
